If we use Assumptions (B), we need to use the law of iterated expectations in proving the BLUE. With Assumptions (B), the BLUE is given conditionally on
Let us use Assumptions (A). The Gauss-Markov Theorem is stated below
Under Assumptions (A), the OLS estimators, are the Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (BLUE), that is
1. Unbias :
2. Best :
Real data seldomly satisfy Assumptions (A) or Assumptions (B). Accordingly we should think that the Gauss-Markov theorem only holds in the never-never land. However, it is important to understand the Gauss-Markov theorem on two grounds:
1. We may treat the world of the Gauss-Markov theorem as equivalent to the world of perfect competition in micro economic theory.
2. The mathematical exercises are good for your souls.
We shall prove the Gauss-Markov theorem using the simple regression model of equation (1). We can prove the Gauss-Markov theorem using the multiple regression model
(2)
To do so, however, we need to use vector and matrix language (linear algebra.) Actually, once you learn linear algebra the proof of Gauss-Markov theorem is far more straight forward than the proof for the simple regression model of (1).

...The Blues is a musical form and genre, which originated in South America within the African-American communities. It originated near the end of the 19th century, and was rooted from spirituals, work songs, field hollers (which are very similar to work songs, but some do not have lyrics), shouts and rhymes. The blues form in jazz, rhythm and blues and rock and roll; and each is characterised by a specific chord progression, the most common being the twelve bar blues. The blues notes, are played or sung flat or gradually bent (minor 3rd to major 3rd) in relation to the pitch of the major scale. Though the blues genre is heavily based upon the blues scale (blues form), there are other characteristics that they need to possess such as a specific lyric pattern, bass line and the use of certain instruments.There are many different types of blues, some of the most common being the Delta, Piedmont, Jump and the Chicago blues styles. There are many other different types of blues, ranging from country, to urban blues, some being more popular than others during different periods of the 20th century. It was during World War II, when blues was listened to by a much wider audience and marked the transition from acoustic blues to electric blues.

What is “Great?”
Words, unbeknownst to most people, usually have more than one meaning. Us as a people need to strive to look deeper into the words we use. I have one word in particular that I would like to share. Great, a word commonly used throughout America. No one would ever think that a word as simple as this could have multiple different meanings depending on the setting it is being used in and who it is being said by. No one would guess that the way your mom uses great might differ from the way a teen might use the word great. The way a doctor uses great could completely different from the way a football coach uses the word great. These are some of the numerous examples that can and will be explained within this essay.
Before explaining the many different uses of the word “great,” a base definition or use needs to be set. The Oxford English Dictionary definition of great is to be composed of large particles. For most people the more universal way to use great is as a synonym for or adjective better than good. “She is great with child!” That my friend, is old fashioned. Who would’ve believed that that was how people described a woman who was close to the end of their pregnancy. In this setting the word is used as an adjective and defined as being in an advanced stage of pregnancy.

...I did a Hooverville from back in the great depression. I built my Hooverville on a big piece of cardboard. I partly spray painted the big cardboard for a mud look. My Hooverville has five shacks and a lean to. The shacks are made out of cardboard that I also spray painted to look like mud. The shacks are held together with hot glue. On the shacks I used some material to make roofs and door coverings.
I made some trees and bushes on my Hooverville too, using Spanish moss. I got some sticks out of my front yard to make wood piles for the fires, to show that the people of Hooverville were hard workers. I even made a lean to over one of the wood piles for looks. I have a railroad tracks that I made out of popsicle sticks and tooth picks. I glued some moss along the side to look like grass and bushes. I’m not going to lie, it really looks legit.
I have three fires on my Hooverville. One of the fires is for cooking. I used a candle holder as a pot, and I used construction paper to make muskrat stew. Green for the dandelion greens, orange for the carrots, and brown for the pieces of meat. One of the fires is for laundry and I used a tissue for clothes and soap. The other fire is for the small family with the sick baby .
I also made a creek on my Hooverville, for washing the tin can dishes. I made the creek out of blue glass stones my mom had in a vase. I got real stones from my driveway to make the creek look real. So...

...As seen on the last page of the book, it's seen that Nick is observing to the fact that Gastsby "had come a long way to this blue lawn..." Seeing as how Gatsby is connected to this "blue lawn". You can connect the blue lawn back to Gatsby and his house which can connect to the parties in his home. (pg. 39 - a majority, if not, all of chapter 3) the parties in Gatsby's house were not real in the sense that it wasn't just a normal party. People go to Gatsby's house to escape from their realities and just be "out of this world" for just a little while. blue in association with Gatsby signifies Gatsby's ability to transform the ordinary and give it a deep romantic appeal, a freshness and a newness.
And also with the color blue, it can also mean sadness or sorrow.
Tom's car is blue. Maybe the blue car represents the sadness and unhappiness in Tom and Daisy's marriage with it being based on money rather than love. With blue meaning both fantasy and sadness we can connect with the blue car that in the back of his mind, Tom is driving towards a future in which him and daisy could be connected by love and not money. but knowing what his present is, he knows that that dream is only a fantasy. but he keeps on driving, in hopes that one day, this fantasy could become reality....

The Blues
Chicago has been branded as the “Blues Capital of the World”, with nearly all of the genre’s most prominent and clever musicians as either natives of Chicago or securing their careers once moving to the city. However, Chicago is not the origin of the Blues. Though the exact derivation of the Blues was on no account confirmed, customarily, it is acknowledged that it was sustained in the North Mississippi River Delta in the late nineteenth century following the Civil War. The imaginative Delta Blues were profoundly subjective, serving as the spirit of African music, as well as their daily existence, articulating thoughts of optimism and misery, sovereignty and oppression. Many affirm that the Blues originated in the fields, as working slaves chanted field hollers and spirituals amongst each other, designing rhythms by stomping their feet and clapping their hands. With blues primarily as a vocal narrative style featuring solo voice with instrumental accompaniment, it has contributed significantly to the development of jazz, rock and roll, and country and western music.
The blues style had conquered its distinctive attributes of content, choral structure, and harmonious form by the 1920s. Blues lyrics incorporate three-line rhymed verses or stanzas, in which every verse consists of a line of verse that is reiterated and...

...Butterfly Effect
“In life the smallest things can make the greatest impact on the world”. This is known as the Butterfly Effect in chaos theory. The butterfly effects most famous example is a hurricane creation depending on whether or not a butterfly flaps its wings. For instance if a rat in a hurry is frightened it gives off a gas that tells all the other rats to run away saving the pack form harm. The most well-known illustration of the butterfly effect is also known as the ripple effect. The butterfly effects shows that everything we do affects everything else. As said “If you think you are too small to have an impact try going to bed with a mosquito”.
The butterfly effect, written in 1963 by Edward Lorenz, is simply explained as this: each time a butterfly flaps a wing, it moves the air around it, and so on, until somewhere on the other side of the world, a hurricane is formed by all those moving air molecules. It kind of shocking how all the people of the world that sees every little action they do can create something larger? It makes me wonder if whatever it was that I did had an effect or would soon have an effect on someone else far away.
This law, at first, was considered ridiculous and laughable. How could one tiny little flutter create something as large and significant as a hurricane? However, it was soon proven entirely correct and accurate. What I believe this is saying is that every single action we take, every step, every blink of an eye, every...
